What is the difference between a galley and galleon ship?

A Galley is a low-freeboard narrow-beam warship powered primarily by oars, though usually with sails for cruising. Galley primarily refers to warships built and used in the Mediterranean and includes the galley warships on antiquity through to the venetian galleys of the 16th century which were armed with cannons at the bow. A Galleon meanwhile is a high-freeboard broad-beamed multi-decked sailing ship built from the 16th-18th centuries, developed from the earlier carrack by Iberian shipbuilders. Galleons could be used either as trade ships or as warships, and unlike galleys were able to carry a broadside armament of cannon, allowing far superior firepower by comparison, meanwhile the high sides made boarding much more difficult. If you want a ship which is a combination of the two, that would be called a Galleass, which is similar to a galley in that it is a narrow-beam primarily oar-powered ship, but with the features of a galleon, including a full gun deck, high superstructure, and full sail rig. the Galleass was developed from the venetian galley by Italian shipbuilders in the 16th century. A similar ship type would be developed later on by the Royal Navy in the late 17th century which they called the Galley Frigate, essentially an oar-powered frigate.
